Insulating Floors

Subflooring and crawl spaces should be insulated, as well as floors over garages. Heat enters and escapes buildings through the flooring, so installing insulation is extremely important. Make sure your floors are well insulated so you can maximize energy savings and year-round comfort.

Well-insulated floors can help:

• Reduce your energy bills
• Keep your home more comfortable all year long
• Improve the performance of your HVAC systems
• Contribute to a healthier environment

Builders Installed Products offers various types of insulation for floors, crawl spaces (and other areas), including the highest quality spray foam, cellulose and blown-in and batt fiberglass. Installing insulation in the floors of your home can help reduce noises between the different levels and rooms. Cellulose and fiberglass are the best types of insulation for soundproofing.

Floor Insulation R-Value & Options

What about the best insulation for floor joists? Generally, batts and rolls are ideal. According to Insulation Institute, unfaced R-25 or R-19 batt insulation is cut small enough to fit snugly between the floor joists against sills and band (rim) joists.

Other floor insulation options include rigid foam (generally used in new construction), loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass (unfinished floors) and spray foam (unfinished attic floors). Learn more »

For optimal energy efficiency, the U.S. Energy Department reports you should insulate:

• Unfinished attics, in between and over the floor joists (to seal off living spaces below)
• Floors over unheated spaces, such as vented crawl spaces and unconditioned garages
• Portions of flooring in any room that are cantilevered beyond the exterior wall below
• Slab floors built directly on the ground
